Re: What is causing "Abort script execution"?

Next release (V-REP 3.0.2 to be released by mid-March 2013) will have an option to turn this off. Refer to the settings file system/usrset.txt and the variable "abortScriptExecutionButton".

Cheers

Re: Locking objects

Hello Geerten, In V-REP, a model can be any part of a hierarchial structure (refer to the scene hierarchy ), given that all objects share the same ancestor at some point (i.e. parent of parent of parent..., etc.). That same ancestor is called the model base if it is appropriately flagged. So in your...

Re: AR Drone Compatibility

Hello Andrew, You have many different options to connect V-REP with real hardware, some of them are: - via the remote API . You just need to add 2-3 C-files to your project, in order to connect to V-REP (function calls as well as data streaming is supported) - via a plugin . The plugin is then in ch...

Re: Joint/motor dynamics

Hello, Yes, this is possible. You have several possibilities: 1. The easiest and best would be to wait for the next release (V-REP V3.0.2) scheduled for mid-March 2013. There, you will have a mechanism that allows you to write a custom control loop for any joints, directly as a script. 2. You can mo...

Re: ROS - hz rates

Hello FieteBotschen, What basically happens is that data is processed just before the main script is called, i.e. at each simulation pass. The number of simulation passes per second depend on various factors (e.g. number of skipped rendering frames, real-time or non-real-time simulation, etc.). In t...

Re: Robot model slippery, slides no friction

Hello Davide, Did you try to change the physics engine to see if there is a difference? V-REP offers 2 physics engines to allow quickly assessing various problems related to dynamics (but also to be able to use specific features depending on the simulation). In addition to that, be aware that an imp...

Re: Get joint velocity

Hello,

this is not a bug. According to the function documentation, the function returns the desired value as the second return value in Lua:

result,value=simGetObjectFloatParameter(handle,2012)

Re: Locking objects

You can somehow protect your objects inside of a model, but for that you first need to define a model. Make sure you read this section of the user manual. Then, in the object properties dialog , make sure to check "select base of model instead" in order to avoid always selecting individual...

Re: What is causing "Abort script execution"?

This happens when you spend too much time in non-threaded scripts. For instance when you do too much calculations in such a script. In that case, simulation runs normally, but the button is there so that the user can cancel it, and stop simulation. Imagine you have an infinite loop in one of your sc...

Re: Hangs in win 7 64bit

Hello, It is not supposed to hang. There is no 64 bit version for Windows, but the 32 bit version should work fine. Could you try to modify the file "system/usrset.txt", and set the line "alwaysShowConsole = true", then start and see where it hangs? You can also try to temporaril...
